Cumberland Island National Seashore, Georgia

Stalking wild horses on Cumberland Island.



Sea Camp Beach Access at Cumberland Island, the crown jewel of the National Seashore System. It's the largest of Georgia's barrier island and most southern. It's remote and untouched.



The best climbing tree in Sea Camp.



Grazing at the Dungeness Ruins - Dungeness was once a hunting retreat built by Rockerfeller on the island in the early part of the last century. These wild horses are descendents of Rockerfeller's horses they left of the island. They are not native to the island. Their hooves are a threat to the loggerhead sea turtle's nests in the dunes.

 

Lesser Sand Plovers in the tide at dawn. Cumberland Island is on the East Coast Fly Way for migratory birds. The southern Georgia coast is a popular wintering place for arctic birds and one of the official mirgratory rest stops for our feathered friends in both sping and fall. Many endangered birds nest and stop over here.

This is wonderful. I need to travel again.
